Abstract

The Vattakayal backwater system of Kollam district in Kerala receives industrial effluents from the KMML Titanium dioxide factory. The plankton biomass from four different stations of this water body was estimated every month for a period of two years (1994-1996). There was drastic reduction of plankton biomass at Station I which directly received the effluents. Station II which was near to Station I also recorded decreased values. Station III closer to the river discharge site and Station IV closer to the estuarine mouth to the sea, exhibited almost normal values. The interrelationship of plankton biomass with year. Station and Season are discussed.
